1 Placing speakers

Select the speaker layout for the number of speakers that you are using and place the speakers and subwoofer in your room. This section describes the representative speaker layout examples.

Caution

• (U.S.A. and Canada models only) Under its default settings, the unit is configured for 8-ohm speakers. When connecting 6-ohm speakers, set the unit’s speaker impedance to “6 Ω MIN”. For details, see “Setting the speaker impedance” (p.14).

• (Except for U.S.A. and Canada models) Use speakers with an impedance of at least 6 Ω.

• Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier.

• Be sure to connect the front left and right speakers.

Connect the speakers placed in your room to the unit. The following diagrams provide connections for a

5.1-channel system as an example. For other systems, connect speakers while referring to the connection diagram for the 5.1-channel system.

Caution

• Remove the unit’s power cable from an AC wall outlet and turn off the subwoofer before connecting the speakers.

• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch one another or come into contact with the unit’s metal parts. Doing so may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, “Check SP Wires” will appear on the front display when the unit is turned on.
